JavaScript JavaScript Loops, Arrays and Objects Tracking Multiple Items with Arrays Two-Dimensional Arrays

Console says 'Can't read property zero'

Hello, I've been following along on the JavaScript 'Two-Dimensional Arrays' video and I can't seem to display my text. After correcting some minor typos I've arrived at a problem I can't solve alone with the console. After opening the console, it says on line 17 that it "cannot read undefined property of '0'" although my line of code looks just like Dave's! Has Dave forsaken me? I must admit my grasp of JavaScript is tenuous at best and any help would be most appreciated. Thank you!

My JavaScript code in this exercise:

var playList = [ [ 'Lithium', 'Nirvana'], [ 'So Glad', 'Ariel Pink\'s Haunted Graffiti'], [ '...And the Rain', 'John Maus'], ['Blazing Arrow', 'Blackaliscious'] ['See Emily Play', 'Pink Floyd'], ['Respect', 'Notorious B.I.G'], ];

function print(message) { document.write(message); }

function printSongs( songs ) { var listHTML = '<ol>'; for ( var i = 0; i < songs.length; i += 1) { listHTML += '<li>' + songs[i][0] + ' by ' + songs[i][1] + '</li>'; } listHTML += '</ol>'; print(listHTML); }

printSongs(playList);

Check & make sure songs[i][0] has a zero in it & not the letter O

You just have a typo in your data (not the code).

You're missing a comma (,) between "'Blackaliscious']" and "['See Emily Play'".

Aha! I'll keep that in mind in the future when I see this message! Thank you Steven.
